12 Ways to Keep Your Audience Awake (literally)

NightFall: Beautiful Timelapse Video by Colin Rich

“I shot ‘Nightfall’ in an attempt to capture Los Angeles as it transitioned from day to night. As you probably know, LA is an expansive city so shooting it from many different angles was critical. Usually I was able to capture just one shot per day with a lot of driving, exploring, and scouting in between but the times sitting in traffic or a ‘sketchy’ neighborhood often lead to new adventures and interesting places.” (Vimeo 3:18).http://vimeo.com/47224216

“Quality, quality, quality: never waver from it, even when you don’t see how you can afford to keep it up. When you compromise, you become a commodity and then you die.” – Gary Hirshberg
